that's a bit weird since that rule is supposed to be generating stdio_lim.d are you out of space or something ? if you try to emerge glibc again, does it work ?

After stracing the aborting gcc invocation and pouring over the resulting trace file, I found the problem. In short: an old work-around of mine came around and bit me on the ass. Long: The gcc driver was calling out to i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. But it didn't execute the right executable (/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc), it actually executed /usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc. This is a wrapper shell script that basically execs gcc with all its arguments. I created it about four months ago to work around some trouble with upgrading gcc. It did the job, the gcc upgrade worked and lots of updates later I had totally forgotten it. Removing /usr/local/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc resulted in gcc executing the correct executable and everything worked again. Sorry for wasting your time.
